MSNBC host Rachel Maddow went rogue against her own network, insinuating it was racist, after the firings of former hosts Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Katie Phang.

“What is changing is that the show, Alex Wagner Tonight, is not coming back at 9 after the first hundred days. Instead, Alex will be a senior political analyst for MSNBC and Jen Psaki will start hosting the 9 p.m. hour all the other nights except for Mondays. So that’s a big change. An even bigger programming change is at 7 p.m., 7 p.m. Eastern, where Joy Reid’s show, “The Reid Out,” ended tonight. And Joy is not taking a different job in the network,” Maddow said on Monday.

“She is leaving the network altogether. And that is very, very, very hard to take. I am 51 years old.I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid,” she said.

“I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC. And personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. It is not my call,” the host said.

“And I understand that. But that’s what I think. I will tell you, it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we’ve got two, count them two, nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on The Weekend. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible. And I do not defend it,” she said.
